The UK will delay checks on some EU imports while it seeks a solution on trade of foodstuffs with Northern Ireland, according to officials and a new piece of legislation.

The official government line is that businesses should still prepare for an October deadline, but the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) confirmed on Thursday that there will be a further delay to checks on chilled meats.

By allowing some chilled meat items to continue to be imported from the EEA [European Economic Area] until 1 January 2022, firms will be able to focus on their recovery and maintain existing supply lines.

"This latest delay would be the UK governments third, after the original plan was for checks to imposed in January 2021.Separately, people familiar with customs processes in Wales said the country, which carries much of the trade traffic from the island of Ireland to the UK, is not ready to handle check on meats and other animal products from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, including export health certificates.

Introducing these checks may not be terminal for EU businesses but they may choose not to trade with the UK. That would put even further pressure on food supplies and empty shelves.

He added: But it is frustrating that our businesses have had to jump through these hoops since January and EU businesses will not need to jump through the same hoops until 2022.

Delaying this just takes the decision away from the negotiating table and thats a missed opportunity. The reality is today the cost for British companies delivering goods to the EU has doubled and it takes twice as long as it did before Brexit.

I mean technically this is good news but Jesus christ is this embarrassing

Starving our kids to own the libs

Worst part is conservatives still won't own up to how fundamentally fucking stupid Brexit was.

If I was Irish (either) I'd be livid.

Did TC ever apologise for concern trolling in relation to tipping and minimum wage?
Why the fuck would I apologize for tipping hard working waitresses?

You should apologize for refusing too

So he didnt. Thats unfortunate. Its always terrible when someone supports toxic tip culture instead of a livable minimum wage.

I didn't read that topic, but the fact that a topic about tipping somehow ended up on the subject of female genital mutilation is Unfair in a fucking nutshell, isn't it

Brexit seems like it has a lot of negative consequences, but it does stop you from freely traveling Europe, so it has its positives too.

Shut the fuck up, hypocrite. I was repeating to you the vile bullshit you were posting in your other topic and offered you a chance to apologise. You don't get to blame anyone else for this.

To be fair to Boris (who I despise)

He wasn't in charge when the UK voted to leave

Sure he cocked up every step of the UK leaving but it was turtles all the way before he became PM

He was one of the leading figures and public faces of the Leave campaign, though.

True and he's a moron

Blaming Boris for the actions of most of England is a lazy scapegoat

Not really

Just that unsafe food is better than no food.
